Catch, Wilmington, NC

Don't let Catch's location on Market Street in a strip shopping area fool you.

It was raining and had been raining for some time when we arrived. It's raining as I type this. Relatively deep standing water in spots had to be navigated as we parked Miranda on the side of the shopping center. We called about an hour before hand and reserved a spot in the bar which is small and located in the entrance way. 

The setting didn't matter, road weary people often can't be too choosey. When a good meal follows, first-world problems are forgotten.
